Be who you are! be yourself!

Wow Ive had an action packed week, filled with work-work-work, designing my Camelia Carlton line, hitting the gym, and fitting in a little shopping here and there! While in one of my "minute to spare moods" I found myself in one of the larger department stores that australia has, I soon found myself in a dressing room trying on a million outfits, as any girl does. I heard a mother and daughter in the cubicle next to me, the daughter was trying on multiple outfits while the mother was giving her opinion, comments such as, "your too fat in that, it looks horrible, maybe you should start working out." To my horror the poor girl agreed, as I finished trying on my swag of outfits, I saw the girl walking out of the change rooms she had a healthy figure and didnt look over wieght at all infact the complete opposite. It made me think about how important it is to love who you are and never let anyone tell you something different about yourself. Remember that you are who you are and you should be proud to be that person, never let someone try to bring you down to their own unhappiness. Be who you are, respect yourself and people will love you for it! xo CC

New York Fashion Week 2012

With New York Fashion week behind us I feel so inpired and ready to take on the fashion industry. New York fashion week is without a doubt the christmas holiday to fashionistas or the football grand final to football crazed fans. Its one of my favorite weeks of the year. And this year didnt dissappont me at all with hit shows like ElieTa Hari and DKNY, not to mention the up and coming designers such as Rebecca Taylor, and how could I forget the classics like Tommy Hilfigure and Cynthia Rawley. Ralf Lauren may have receieved keys to the city and one day I hope to be as luck and have keys to Brisbane city. Watching amazing and innovative designs strut down the run way, how could you not feel inspired! Ive learnt that tribal is going to be huge this season with Gwen Stefani's line L.A.M.B previewing everything tribal. Watching NYFW has only taught me to follow my dreams even more and never to give up I hope that through reading my blog and seeing the NYFW pics you will also feel the need to follow your dreams too all the while looking fabulous in fashions by me Camelia Carlton! Check out some of the pictures Ive posted from the week that was the fashionistas christmas New York Fashion Week 2011- 2012. xoxo C.C

This is my city, where my creative fire burns, where my girls and I live it up - for the weekends. For the beach, for the swanky riverside restaurants - and my fashion label is evolving.
A gorgeous source of inspiration. This is Brisbane, now.

Spring has sprung!

Well, it feels like spring has finally sprung in sunny Brisbane. We're still having some cool nights, but all in all - the days are simply gorgeous, and I think it's time to start bringing the Spring and Summer wardrobe back to life.

So, to make a simple and perfect start to the season I'm bringing back my Makeup Maxi. Teaming this gorgeous, comfortable and flattering dress with a blazer, flats, aviators and hobo bag - I'm ready to take on the coming season!

Garment details: Beautiful, long maxi dress in super stretch spandex with drawstring waist and elasticised band at bust. Frill feature at bust for modesty.

Gorgeous, isn't it?

You can check it out at my online shop - it really is a steal.

Until next time,

Colour-coded

Everyone knows this girl likes to be organised - it's essential to my success and the luxe look I like to maintain.

In my Daily Candy readings over the past week, I have found a fabulous product that will not only be of great convenience - but add a touch of colour to my other white mac world.

They're called Dotz, found here, and I think every new-age girl needs some!

And what's more - they come in my favourite colour.

Until next time,
